THEON unveiled a next-generation night vision tactical display system featuring Kopin Corporation’s DarkWAVE™ module, highlighting their cooperation on augmented reality solutions for defence applications. The strategic investment agreement between THEON and Kopin received Direct Foreign Investment (DFI) approval on 16 October 2025, enabling the creation of a new AR-focused manufacturing and R&D hub in Reston, Virginia.
According to Dr. Michalis Kolotos, THEON’s Director of U.S. Operations, “we are deepening our presence in the U.S. through our locally established company, forging partnerships with top-tier technology leaders, and securing key contracts that position THEON for sustainable growth, delivering world-class solutions to the U.S. forces and the allied missions.”
In parallel, THEON executives joined a roundtable on U.S.–Greece strategic defence cooperation organised by the Atlantic Council and the American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce USA. Participants discussed geopolitical challenges and partnerships essential to strengthening the transatlantic defence industrial base.
